NORWALK, CT – April 9, 2014 – Irving Levin Associates, Inc. will be hosting an important webcast on Thursday, May 1, 2014, sponsored by Regions Bank to discuss key growth sectors in the health-care services M&A market. In several health-care sectors, M&A activity waned in 2013 compared to the prior year, which boasted the highest number of transactions since 2007 (and the lowest dollar value since 2003). In particular, the number of hospital transactions was down significantly in the first half of 2013—yet the dollars committed to all hospital deals jumped more than 250% in that same period. Overall, current deals tend to be smaller and more strategic, as both buyers and sellers watch the economy gradually improve. Our panel of industry experts will review the first-quarter 2014 activity.

The moderator of the webcast, Christopher Carnahn, President of Carnahan Group, will pose topical questions such as: Which market sectors of the health-care services industry are in play? Which ones are holding firm? Which ones are lagging behind? What drives the various market sectors? What is the outlook for the remainder of 2014?

Founded in 1948, Irving Levin Associates, Inc. is the leading publisher of newsletters, reports, and online data on mergers and acquisitions in the seniors housing and health-care industry. Irving Levin Associates invites you to take part in this don’t-miss webcast.
